Hi I'm using iOS 14 beta 14.0 (18A5332f). When i'm turning on/off Allow Tracking from apps permission page it's resetting the IDFA. I'm not sure if this a bug or behaviour.

Generally IDFA should get reset if i do enable/disable from privacy page. Here it's getting reset for changing a app permission which is sandboxed only to that app.

Please let us know if changing the app permission of one app will reset the IDFA of device because it seems to be a BUG.

Thanks

Apple has replied to my IDFA reset question.

IDFA reset is not dependent on Global switch. It'll reset when all the apps who have tracking permission disables it and any one app enables it again.

Since we were testing with one app and there is no other app with AppTransperancyFramework it was getting reset every time we disable/enable. I tested this with 2 apps IDFA remains constant when we have permission for 2 apps and i disable/enable for one app. When disable for both apps and enable again it'll change(Reset).

2. IDFA Reset can also be done from Global Switch by turning off permission for all, and when we enable again it'll Reset.

Thanks
